Change your request to this:
{"phone_number" : "{{a.customer_phone|tojson}}",
"company_name" : "{{a.outbound_referral_company|tojson}}",
"first_name" : "{{a.customer_full_name|tojson}}",
"email_address" : "{{ a.customer_email|tojson}}",
"address" : "{{a.customer_new_address_street_1|tojson}}",
"city" : "{{a.customer_new_address_city|tojson}}",
"state" : "{{a.customer_new_address_state_region|tojson}}",
"zip_code" : "{{a.customer_new_address_postal_code|tojson}}",
"note" : "{{a.notes_sent_to_company|tojson}}"}

Also- super strange but when i add the |tojson, it gives me the error message for "Body is not a valid JSON object", if I remove them to what listed I had previously without the json, it does not give me the error.

- so take the whole request you get from putsreq and paste in a code editor or a validator like https://jsonlint.com/ and hit 'Validate JSON' and it will highlight any syntax error.
I'm thinking there must be characters in your fields that are invalid in a JSON unless they are 'escaped'. That's the purpose of the |tojson at the end of your field, that should correct the value to be passable in a JSON object.

------------------------------- Sorry I am not familiar with this- is that meaning the headers and the POST section or just one? I did each one individually and it stated valid JSON for both!

------------------------------- I was thinking there was something wrong with the body.
You are testing the body with actual values in there from putsreq, not the {{a.customer_full_name}} placeholders right?
